A glass ceramic based on the CaO-A12O3-BaO-MgO-B2O3 system was investigated using transmission electron microscopy in order to understand interactions among multiple oxide phases. The microstructure consisted of various crystalline and amorphous phases with stacking faults and dislocation loops in some of the crystalline phases. The microstructural development and phase assemblage of the complex system appeared to be related to defect-interface interactions during heating and cooling processes.
